When Miranda's previous suitors pursued her, they either sent flowers and luxury cars or invited her to high-end venues. Taking her to a roadside stall for delicious food? That sounded so lowbrow.
However, it was precisely this lowbrow approach that made the goddess CEO smile brightly. Looking at the bustling night market in front of her, Miranda was filled with curiosity and anticipation. She had never been to such a place before in her life. When it came to eating out, she either ate at home or went to fancy restaurants. As for shopping, she only went to malls and specialty stores.
Feeling the thick smoke and atmosphere here, the goddess CEO looked at Lachlan with beautiful eyes and took his hand proactively.
"Let's go!"
Was this where he used to live?
Of course she had to experience it!
Just as the two were laughing and joking about entering a street in the night market, there was a commotion not far away.
"The stall fee needs to be paid!"
A group of young people walked up to a stall on the outskirts of the night market led by someone who said that loudly.
These young people didn't have that kind of shifty feeling like small-time hoodlums on them; they looked like members of some underground force - official members with proper status.
The leader wore a black vest that showed off his muscular arms when he collected fees from vendors; his attitude was still polite enough as long as these vendors followed rules because they were responsible for booth safety as well as maintaining normal order in this section of the night market.
In any society or class anywhere has its own set rules existent but just then another group rushed over menacingly!
They all held shiny weapons in their hands which indicated their bad intentions!
"Heheh Rocky! Collecting fees here?"
Later these people were led by someone wearing trousers and shirt pointing at Rocky with his machete saying, "What are you doing, Jack? Why did you bring your men over?"
Rocky's face sank while speaking rudely, "What do you mean? What are you going do about us?"
"Do what? Do something about all of you!"
"From now on, protection fees on this street have nothing do with you anymore!"
"Cut them down!"
The man wearing trousers laughed coldly while looking fierce, "Attack!"
Rocky didn't hesitate and waved his hand towards his men. The two groups met and started fighting without saying much. The nearby vendors quickly hid to avoid getting blood on them.
"Jack? Rocky?" Miranda exclaimed in surprise, seeing the two groups fighting.
"Do you know them?" Lachlan raised an eyebrow and asked.
"They are all Mason's men, why are they fighting each other?" Miranda looked puzzled.
Lachlan's face changed suddenly as he thought of something. At this time, Jack Lowe and Rocky's group had already entered a white-hot battle. Jack was a skilled fighter from the Lowe family who was sent by Victoria to work for Mason.
Although Rocky also had some skills, he was no match for Jack and was already at a disadvantage after being slashed on the shoulder by him. His brothers were also knocked down by Jack's men!
Lachlan narrowed his eyes and rushed forward when he saw this situation. With a muffled sound, Jack spurted blood as he flew out backwards while Lachlan easily dealt with his men.
